From 20 February 2024, our Coastal & Inland and Owners’ Fixed Premium teams have merged to create one dedicated small vessels team, delivering several advantages for members and insureds, including:
Enhanced expertise and efficiency
Improved range of cover options
Greater underwriting support
Financial stability and business growth
All from the same claims and underwriting people and teams you know and trust.
The Coastal & Inland Class Committee provides the members of the Class with a forum to consult and advise on Class business subject to the direction of the Board of Directors. Meetings of the Committee are held twice a year, at which member representatives receive reports and make recommendations to the Board on a wide range of topics.
The Class Committee also has powers to determine discretionary matters that arise in relation to Class members’ claims under our Rules up to a limit agreed by the Board.
Our website, LinkedIn page and X feed are also regularly updated with the latest NorthStandard news, industry developments and global events, so shipowners, charterers, traders and all members are always fully informed about any issues that may affect their operations.
In addition to providing expert insight and advice, we constantly create a wide range of easily accessible support tools and resources, including guides, videos, training courses and workshops, plus articles and handouts on the issues that matter most to our fast-changing industry.
